Will Ospreay has opened up about the emotional meaning behind his memorable entrance at AEW All In: London, revealing that the people he passed backstage represented different chapters of the journey that took him to the AEW World Championship.

Ospreay went to battle with Kenny Omega at Wembley Stadium with the AEW World Championship on the line. Before the action even began, however, fans spotted something special about the British star's journey towards the ring.

Rather than simply making his entrance, Ospreay walked past several familiar faces who have played important roles throughout his wrestling career.

The backstage footage featured Zack Sabre Jr., Michael Oku, Ricochet, Swerve Strickland, Aussie Open's Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis, Ospreay's wife Alex Windsor and Jon Moxley.

Speaking during the post-show media scrum, Ospreay explained that each person represented a different part of the road that brought him to Wembley.

“For me, it was walking past all the people that made me. Zack Sabre Jr, the first mountain in British wrestling that I climbed. Michael Oku, my last British wrestling match. Ricochet, from Best of the Super Juniors. Swerve, Kyle and Davis, then see Al there. Then, Moxley. It was mind-blowing.”

Ospreay admitted that his relationships with some of those people have changed over the years, but that only added to the significance of the moment.

“Even though there might be hard feelings towards some of them, maybe some love towards others, it was one of the coolest moments to know there was a moment of appreciation from all of them and they were ready to see me step into this position. To me, that was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I haven’t watched it back yet, but people are saying it was pretty f**king sick.”

There was another huge moment during Ospreay's showdown with Omega when he became one of the very few wrestlers to kick out of the One-Winged Angel.

Ospreay said he could not fully explain how he managed to survive the devastating move, describing it as something he simply felt in the moment.

“I don’t know how I kicked out of it. I felt something. I felt like I wasn’t done and I wasn’t ready to roll over and die. I had something in me and motivating me. Even though I couldn’t hear people, I could feel. That was enough that got me through it. The fact that I’m now in the same category as Kota Ibushi is crazy to me.”

For Ospreay, the night was about far more than one championship match. His walk towards the Wembley ring became a reminder of the opponents, friends, rivals and loved ones who helped shape his career before one of its biggest moments.
